"Come on!" said Anushka to her little sister, Parvathi.  

Anushka was chubby and always smiling.  Parvathi was short with two small pigtails. 

Since it was a Friday, the two girls were going to the Ganapati temple.  They, in fact, go there every Friday.  The two girls trotted to the temple.  The path they took was rather deserted and dry.  It had small mussaenda trees with new budding flowers, hibiscus bushes with red blossom, and best of all - mango trees...!!!  

"Paru, look..!", Anushka called out.  

"Mhh... Mangoes...!" said Parvati, licking her pink lips.  

"Hey, can we climb the trees and pluck the mangoes?" questioned Parvathi.  

Anushka nodded and gave her a basket and said, "Look, When I throw down the mangoes and you catch it, okay?"

Anushka nodded and gave her a basket and said, "Look, When I throw down the mangoes and you catch it, okay?"  

Saying this, she started climbing the tree.  She plucked one green mango, tossed it over to Parvathi.  "HeeHee... More..!!" she squealed to Anushka.  She took the third and fourth, but the fifth was on a high branch.  She stretched her hand to reach the mango, but she lost grip and came tumbling down on a bush.  

"Anushka, Are you alright?" said Parvathi; helping Anuskha get up.  "I'm fine we..  wow...!!" said Anushka.  Mangoes came pouring from the shake of the tree.  They collected a lot of mangoes and set off to the temple.
